Has anyone tried installing an S54 on a 5SFE? What are its drawbacks?

bigbird · 07-30-2009, 06:56 PM

from what ive herd its not geared well for a stock 5sfe. the ratios are too long.

its really short actually . the S54 gearing is shorter then whats in my celica S53. its good for acceleration. bad for gas mileage

am i thinking of another tranny then? i always get the s54 and the es300 manual(thought it was s54) confused.

your thinking of the E53. (not very popular for some reason). the gear ratios are super wide and would only make a 5s powered car slower then it already is.

oh well in that case the S54 should be the standard, or only, manual tranny on the 5s...yes?

Okay... for the record,

Manual Trannies:

S51=Camry 5sfe
S53=Celica 5sfe
S54=MR2 5sfe(same as 51 but with the shifting forks relocated on the housing for easier connection from the front)

E53=Camry 3vzfe
E153=Camry SE 3vzfe
Celica 3sgte(need confirmation for 3s)

only the E153 can be fitted with the Quaiff or TRD LSD

Adam correct me if I'm wrong...

Both S51 and S53 were used on the gen2 Camry's. I have an S53 in mine, though i've seen a lot more with the S51.

I believe the 3S-GTE uses the E153 as well; very common with the turbo MR2's which use that combo from factory IIRC. Stronger internals i suppose.

You mean to say S51 and S54 have the same gear ratios?

CamryWilly · 08-02-2009, 02:32 AM

There supposed to be the same but they're a bitch to hook up on your shifter if it's in the wrong car.

this is what i know to be true

E53=Camry SE/ES300 3vz
E153= Camry/Solara 1mz
S53=5th gen celica
S54=6th gen celica + MR2
